Bosses can shape the work cultures that influence mental health

The ways in which work affects our mental health and wellbeing are complex and varied. What research consistently reveals is that work can be immensely beneficial but also harmful to our mental health, and in turn to our physical wellbeing and quality of life.

Building a workplace culture that is good for mental health takes a genuine commitment. All too often leaders espouse cultural values that they fail to adopt. Bullying, discrimination and harassment continue to be serious issues experienced by far too many working Australians. Bosses need to make stamping this out a priority and in turn they will shape a welcoming and accepting workplace culture.
